IMPORTANT: FRAUD ALERT

We are aware of emails being sent out targeting authors and publishers, impersonating members of TIFA staff.

These messages appear as invitations to participate in our Festival and other programmes (such as Toronto Lit Up), asking for information and e-transfers to unauthorized email addresses. These are not legitimate communications.

Please do not respond to the message, click any links, or share any personal or financial information.

TIFA will never ask authors to pay to participate in our festivals or programming, and our emails will only be sent through our official verified email addresses ending in [at]festivalofauthors[dot]ca. It will never come from a Gmail address.

Should you receive any additional communications of this nature, we recommend that you report them, block the sender, and delete the messages immediately. 

If you have any other questions, please contact us at info@festivalofauthors.ca.
